The main objectives of the North Lincolnshire Safeguarding Adults Board are to assure itself that local safeguarding arrangements and partners act to help and protect adults at risk within North Lincolnshire.
In North Lincolnshire, the safeguarding partner organisations and the lead representatives are:
- North Lincolnshire Council – Chief Executive
- Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board – Executive Director of Nursing and Quality
- Humberside Police – Chief Constable
The Board aims to promote awareness and understanding of abuse and neglect amongst service users, carers, professionals, care providers and the wider community and works to generate community interest and engagement to ensure that ‘safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility’
The three core duties of the Board are to:
- Publish a Strategic Plan for each financial year that sets how it will meet its main objective and what the members will do to achieve this
- Publish an Annual Report detailing what the Board has done during the year to achieve its main objective and implement its Strategic Plan, and what each member has done to implement the strategy
- Conduct any Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SARs) in accordance with Section 44 of the Care Act.
North Lincolnshire Safeguarding Adults Board has an Independent Chair, Kathy Clark, who is able to constructively challenge and hold to account the partner agencies of the Safeguarding Adults Board, and can also act as a spokesperson for the North Lincolnshire Safeguarding Adults Board. This arrangement provides reassurance that the Board has some independence from the statutory and other partners.
